Today, I drove my car into a fence because a spider was crawling from the mirror. The police laughed their asses off. One of them asked, "What should I write in the report? That she got scared of a spider?" Then he wrote just that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a spider dangled an inch away from my face while I was driving. I freaked out and accidentally bumped the car in front of me. Three cops arrived on the scene and I had to explain to them what happened. I can still hear them laughing. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw a spider hanging from the ceiling of my car. I'm terrified of spiders, so I was watching it instead the road. When I looked back at the road, I had just enough time to swerve to miss the fire hydrant but not the tree. Even the cops laughed at me. FML
Today, while driving, a spider crawled onto my gearstick. Not being afraid of them, I casually flicked it off. Onto the person sitting next to me. The person evaluating me for my driving test at the time, who happened to be arachnophobic. FML
Today, a spider came down from its web in front of my face. This would have been fine and I could have killed it easily if I wasn't in my car. Driving on the highway. I cried. FML
Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML
Today, I had a panic attack when a huge spider ran over my hand. I screamed, wailed, and killed it with a shoe while shouting. Ten minutes later, police slammed on my door. My neighbor called them, saying it sounded like someone was being murdered. FML
Today, I was driving when a woman started crossing the street against the light at the upcoming intersection, so I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of hitting her. That's when she intentionally jumped onto my car and started screaming that I had "mowed her down". The cops believed her. FML
Today, I saw a spider in my room. I got a piece of paper to try and put it outside. As I reached, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to smack where the spider was - my face. I fell on the floor disoriented. The spider got away. FML
Today, after several months desperately searching for a job and feeling pretty insecure and unimportant, I drove 15 miles to a job interview. On parking my car at the destination, I found that during my drive a spider had been making a cobweb between the car and my hair. FML
Today, I found a spider in my car the size of my hand. Help. FML

Isn't that a pretty common occurrence though, people get startled by some critter in their car/an animal on the road/ a sudden loud noise and swerve their cars in a stupid split-second reaction? It's not like you decided in a minute-long, out loud discussion with yourself that the best way to kill the spider was to crash your car on purpose - I hope, at least. :)

Sue the spider! I lost a car in a 4-car pile up because the guy in the fourth car “sneezed.” Car accidents are often caused by dumb shit.

And for leaving the scene of the crime, too.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine years ago. Shortly after graduating from college, starting his first job, and buying a new car, a bee flew in, and while he was distracted trying to kill it, he swerved into the oncoming lane and caused a head-on collision. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries.

I am terrified of spiders and am always afraid something like this will happen to me. Sorry, OP! Hope you and your car are okay!

Stop driving. You’ll kill someone.

Hey, OP here, I'm happy to report that both me, and my car are OK, and hopefully, the spider too, because the full story goes like this: I had spotted the spider, and even though I was seriously arachnophobic, this time, I didn't get particularly startled, I just tried vigorously blowing it out through the window. The momentary lack of attention drove me into the fence. Fun fact: this happened about 20 feet from my house. @7and7is, don't you worry, child, been driving for 11 years, never ever had even a minor bump, probably won't kill anyone. Unless I intend to.
